Moreina before her fall

The Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye sent a number of Rogues to investigate Tristram as it suffered from the presence of Diablo. Moreina herself led them,[1][3] and after arriving in town, she found two allies: Jazreth of the Vizjerei Clan, and Aidan, prince of Khanduras. Entering the cathedral, the trio encountered and dispatched many horrors, including The Butcher and King Leoric, the monarch having now become the Skeleton King. Eventually, they reached the horror in the labyrinth's darkest depths: Diablo, Lord of Terror. After a mighty battle, the demon was felled.[4]

Blood Raven Soul

Blood Raven's soul after her death

After Diablo's defeat, Moreina returned to her order. However, she carried something dark within her; a silent madness that ate away at her once noble heart.[1] Akara sensed that something was wrong with her, and feared (correctly) that she'd encountered an evil force at Tristram. However, she took no action.[3] It was a mistake that cost the order dearly, as, taking on the name of "Blood Raven," Moreina fell into the league with Andariel as the Lesser Evil took over Eastgate Keep. Blood Raven assaulted her fellow Rogues in the battle,[1] and at some point, was made undead. While the Sisterhood was forced to flee into the wilderness, Blood Raven established herself in the monastery graveyard, raising deceased Rogues as zombies. However, she was put down by a group of heroes.[3]
